Anything would look good with these

Simply, that jersey looked quite good with jeans,
Only in Hamilton Richard.

Ha! Tucked in? With boat shoes or white cross trainers?

You're so right about the shoes Haydn. You'd think Adidas wouldn't let the netballers step out in anything other than their own product.
